Israel Land

Corinna Hesse spürt den Wurzeln einer geheimnisvollen Kultur am Schnittpunkt zwischen Orient und Okzident nach und beleuchtet deren wechselvolle Geschichte.

In retrospect, one can see their powerful influence throughout eastern and western history, swaying world events, building up and bringing down kingdoms and dominions. Fortunately, Jewish historians have preserved a vast literature on their people's tumultuous history, and the bitter details are indispensable if we are to rightly understand the explosive tensions in the Middle East today.
